Why B is correct
The federal Telemarketing Sales Rule, found at 16 CFR 310 under the telemarketing statute (15 USC 6101-6108), restricts live solicitation calls to the hours of 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. in the consumer's own local time. Arizona's do-not-call statute, A.R.S. 44-1282, adds penalties but sets no time-of-day window, so the hours rule is purely federal. A call that looks legal on the caller's clock can violate the rule if it is past 9 p.m. where the consumer sits.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) misstates the start of the window; the federal rule opens at 8 a.m. local time, not 9 a.m.
- C) measures the wrong clock; the window runs on the consumer's local time, not the caller's.
- D) registry status and calling hours are separate requirements; staying off the list never widens the hours.
